How to leave bowl
Can anyone explain to me why people swing?
Bars have come back to life, which is not good for the old wallet! Weekends can easily eat up $300. I have a 4K/month budget and everything else goes to investments. Some months I’m well under budget, so I treat myself to some things I’ve been wanting for a while.
30 yo male here on $125-$130k/year

Tithes to church: $730
Food shopping: $350
Spending budget$: $800-1000

Savings: $2,000-$2,500

Don’t fight me on this lol my bf is so heated over it.
Yes, I have additional income outside of my consulting work.
Rising Star
I own two rental apartments which bring in a sizable income.
Then the less unfortunate stream was losing my parents very young. They left a trust for me which is basically subsidized income. That is purely invested because I feel wrong spending it frivolously.
My expenses are generally around 2.5k, my take home is 3.8k… money really just goes if I’m not careful
Between $1k-$2k + $2350 rent per month. Income $206k.

Shooters shoot
2700-3000/month
3100 rent
1000-1500 food/drinks
500-1000 misc (ubers, stupid stuff, etc)
About 10K-13K a month including 6K rent and 3K childcare
Because buying a similiar place would cost about 2500 more a month which is too much for us.
